A friend who has moved came into town and we went on a resale shopping spree together, we were on our 3rd store and I’d been looking for a cute skirt but still hadn’t found one – then I thought to look at the dresses and found two I liked. I asked my friend which […]

Adding Sleeves and Back Panel to White Formal Dress
Apparently you need two white dresses for your wedding these days! Actually the wedding ceremony was in the morning and so a 2nd dress was selected for more comfortable wearing later in the day. This one needed some very last minute alterations as Emily bought the dress the afternoon before the wedding and texted me […]
Long Sleeve to Short
I love that I get new ideas for #ModestPrincess through helping others, a neighbor asked me to turn this long sleeve dress into short sleeved because it’s just so adorable and would be too small by the time the weather turns cooler again. Super easy alteration to make and a fabulous way to make a […]
Men’s Shirt to Toddler Shirt
I have refashioned several men’s white shirts into toddler white shirts, the first time I printed a pattern and followed a tutorial but when I went to make another one the website no longer had the tutorial and free pattern. I was able to enlarge and reuse the pattern but have had trouble finding a tutorial […]
Exercise Tank to Exercise Top
A new challenge was given to me, turning an exercise tank into a modest workout top, and I’m pleased to say despite the difficulty of sewing stretchy knits it worked out great and turned into a great refashion as well as a modesty fix. First we cut the tank top straps off the top, curving […]
Adding Sleeves to Lace Dress
This Lace Dress just needs sleeves to #MakeitModest and the length was a bit awkward- not quite full length so we decided to shorten it and thus we’d have the matching lining and lace fabric to make #CapSleeves. Having measured how much shorter we wanted to make the dress (and made sure that would be […]
Skirt Extender
Sometimes skirts are just a little too short, and you sometimes might only find this out after wearing it for a few times. Based on the design it may just ride up a little too much when you sit down or bend over. Easy fix is a skirt extender and with some lace on […]
Shirt to Infinity Scarf
A sister missionary wardrobe requires accessories which can quickly add up in cost. We got a few awesome print shirts for 25cents at the Thrift Outlet in colors that matched with our outfits and refashioned them into awesome infinity scarves with matching hair bows! First we seam ripped all the seams on the shirt, this particular […]
Button Swap
Buttons can make ALL the difference, here we took a very plain looking cardigan and made it a whole lot better just by swapping out buttons. Not much for instructions here, we seam ripped off the ugly plain buttons and sewed on some cute round buttons we’d collected from a previous refashion deconstruction. And this […]
High Low to Modest Low Skirt
A High-low skirt is usually too high in front to be modest but obviously nice and long in the back, so I decided to alter one. Both the skirt and dress were given to me – so free. I loved the print on the strapless dress and even made use of the pockets! First I […]
